##YouTube DEMO Video https://youtu.be/A8tv_3M1tR4

Overview: This car racing game is my first python project and was a fun way to learn Python and get experience with Pygame. The game is reminiscent of most 2d racing games, there is a starting point and an ending point, in this case a trophy. Contact with the trophy in the allotted time will satisfy the win condition and allow you to proceed, collision with any of the wall barriers or an expiration of the timer will fail you. There are 3 levels in total, of increasing difficulty. Good luck! If you cannot play this game for whatever reason, I have attached a video showing the gameplay at the bottom of the README.

##How To Play: Make sure you have a copy of Python 2.7 installed and the Pygame library. Open the Main_menu.py to begin and follow the prompt to continue. Good Luck!

#Example terminal command:

python Main_Menu.py

##Controls:

• Up Arrow: Acceleration
• Down Arrow: Brake, Reverse
• Left/Right Arrows: Turn
• Escape: Exit
• Space: Continue/Retry (at level end)

##Languages used:

• Python

Library:

• Pygame

Design:

• Paintbrush

##MVP (Minimum Viable Product): Initial MVP

• One, bug-free, complete level from start to finish

Strech Goals

• Multiple levels
• Timed condition
• Multiple lives
• Multiplayer support

##Code Snippets This is the code from the first level, the second and third levels are essentially the same with tweaks to barrier placement and timer settings.
